had it to the edge of speed, I wont bother with a TRE, not worth the hassle to me to gain 5-10mph I RARELY see
That's what I used to say, but then I started reading about how many people experienced much smoother operation at low rpm's. Since you *supposedly* get full timing in all gears, it sounds like a nifty idea.
The thing is, I have also been hearing about how many people expeirienced poor running bikes after the installation of a TRE, and even a few that say that TRE's make you SLOWER in the 1/4 mile. Some people have worked out the TRE bugs by retuning, but what's the point of the TRE in the first place if you're going to be forced to get a custom tune!?!?
Obviously, it sounds like this is still uncharted territory and nobody *really* knows what happens when a product like a TRE is installed. The craziest thing is a long time ago when TRE's were just becoming mainstream, I remember reading about a popular tuner (don't remember who it was) proving that TRE's don't actually change timing at all. So, if this is the case, what in the world do they change???
Another question I have seen asked, and nobody has ever given a rock solid answer to is whether or not a TRE does anything past 4,000 rpm. Some say it is only effective from idle to 4,000rpm with a light to no load (leaving 4krpm up, and heavy load situations all the same as stock), while others say it is effective through the entire rpm range, regardless of load situation.
Bottom line, I'm not putting a lot of faith into the hype or the mainstream understanding of how they work, but instead am just going to plug it in, and see what it does. If it makes my bike smoother, awesome, and if it doesn't, oh well, no big deal.
The only way to know if it will work on your bike is to try it.

Never noticed any problems with bikes' driveability or low-end power delivery...I did switch to 87 octane, n noticed the exhaust dint stink so much of unburnt fuel anymore?
